As much as we all know that environmental factors, heat styling, and UV rays can cause havoc on our hair, many causes of breakage occur when you least expect them to! Yes, while you’re fast asleep. Fortunately, we’ve put together 5 game-changing suggestions that will make a possible nightmare into an incredible daydream.
Your Best Friend Is Your Blow Dryer
Because your fine hair is at its weakest when damp, sleeping with wet hair increases the likelihood that it will break. If you decide to wash your hair in the evening, please do yourself a favour and let it air dry completely before going to bed.
Give Up Your Hair Tie
For our “long hair don’t care” gals, this may be difficult, but tying it up at night is definitely not recommended. Avoid the tension at all costs as it can cause breakage. Try a low ponytail or loose braid with a silky scrunchie if you really must gather it.
Silky Hair = Silk Pillowcase
A silk or satin pillowcase, though it may sound glitzy, is actually better for your hair than a traditional one because of their extreme gentleness. Reduce damage while enhancing comfort. There are even excellent vegan substitutes for silk available.
